Comedy favourite LES DENNIS leads a talented cast in the Wales Theatre Company?s production of the classic farce THE SERVANT OF TWO MASTERS. The play, directed by MICHAEL BOGDANOV, is touring to venues across Wales, including a visit to the New Theatre, Cardiff between 18?20 October.Though most famous for his comedy impressions, sketch shows and hosting Family Fortunes, Les has more recently spread out into acting roles. He has appeared in the TV drama series Holby City, Brookside, Casualty, New Street Law and The Bill amongst others. He also made a show stopping appearance in the first series of Ricky Gervais? Extras playing an exaggerated version of himself. In The Servant of Two Masters, Carlo Goldoni?s classic 18th century Italian comedy, Les plays the role of Truffaldino. This servant for hire believes he can juggle two masters, reaping the reward of two wages and two meals a day. However he soon finds that the demands put upon on are greater than he expected. Keeping both masters happy and apart from each other takes a remarkable amount of deception and subterfuge, not to mention disguises! The Wales Theatre Company first performed at the New Theatre in 2004 with their sell-out production of Dylan Thomas? Under Milk Wood starring Matthew Rhys. They have since gone on to enjoy huge success with Hamlet, performed in both English and Welsh, A Christmas Carol starring Ron Moody and A Child?s Christmas in Wales. Wales Theatre Company's production of The Servant of Two Masters is at the New Theatre from Thursday 18 to Saturday 20 October. Tickets are on sale now with prices ranging from ?7.00 to ?23.00.
